What’s new
What’s new.
Every version of Just Copy for Mac, newest first.
Just Copy updates itself. It checks for a new version once a day, and Check for Updates… in its menu checks right away. The latest is version 1.1.11, released 10 November 2026.
Version 1.1.11
Released 10 November 2026 · macOS 14 or later
New
- Choose the sound JustCopy makes when it saves a copy, in Settings → General → Sound on copy: Pop (still the default), lighter takes on Pop, two soft swishes, a Barely there set for people who copy all day, or None.
Fixed
- Copying two things in quick succession could lose the second when the first took a moment to save, such as a large image or a range of spreadsheet cells. Both are kept now.
Version 1.1.10
Released 21 October 2026 · macOS 14 or later
New
- Reminders before your free trial ends: a notification a week in and on each of the last three days, with a link to buy a license at justcopy.app.
Improved
- The menu bar's "Purchase a License at justcopy.app…" now also shows after the trial has ended.
Version 1.1.9
Released 21 October 2026 · macOS 14 or later
New
- Try JustCopy free for 14 days: everything works from the start, no key needed. Then US$29.99 once — no subscription, no account. Settings → License shows the days left, and the menu bar reminds you in the last three.
Fixed
- Hovering the notch now opens the tray whatever app is in front. With Terminal in front, it didn't respond.
Version 1.1.8
Released 12 October 2026 · macOS 14 or later
Improved
- Screenshots collected from your Desktop or screenshot folder now show their file name on the tile and in the preview.
- Erase History now tells you which smart folders, like Screenshots, it would empty before you confirm.
Fixed
- Images in your folders are never trimmed from iCloud to save space, so your iPhone and other Macs always get them in full. The iCloud limit now only trims images outside folders.
- In a narrow tray, the Rows and Tiles picker stays on one line.
Version 1.1.7
Released 7 October 2026 · macOS 14 or later
Fixed
- A code now works after you fix a typo with Backspace: type #linkdn, delete back and finish #linkedin, and a space still turns it into the tile.
Version 1.1.6
Released 7 October 2026 · macOS 14 or later
New
- Folder shortcuts: press ⌘⇧V and, still holding ⌘⇧, tap a folder's letter. The tray opens straight on that folder; let go and press 1 to paste its first tile. Every folder starts with a letter from its name. Hold ⌘⇧ in the open tray to see them, and change any letter in Settings → Shortcuts.
- Move to Front: right-click a tile in a folder and choose Move to Front. Up to nine front tiles stay first, in your order, however much you pin later, and show their number next to the pin, so the same key always pastes the same tile. Drag a tile to rearrange them: the others make room as you go. Right-click → Remove from Front lets one go.
- Codes: right-click a tile in a folder, choose Set Code… and give it a code like #allrepos, which becomes the tile's name. Type #allrepos and a space, and it turns into that tile. JustCopy only looks out for your codes while a tile has one, and nothing you type is kept or leaves your Mac. Codes work in almost any app you type in. They stay out of password fields and of apps where # is the app's own feature, like Notes, Slack and Notion; change that list in Settings → Shortcuts.
- Folder keys in the open tray: ⌘[ and ⌘] step through your folders.
Version 1.1.5
Released 3 October 2026 · macOS 14 or later
New
- Collect screenshots: turn it on in Settings → General, and every screenshot you take also lands in the tray and a Screenshots folder. The file still saves where macOS puts it.
- Make it instant: an option under Collect screenshots that turns off macOS's floating screenshot preview, so each screenshot appears in the tray straight away. Turn it off to bring the preview back.
Version 1.1.4
Released 25 September 2026 · macOS 14 or later
Improved
- Setup now starts with your license key, and tells you where to find it: in the email from Polar, or in your Polar customer portal.
- "Skip — just start" now asks for your license key first, then skips the rest of setup.
Fixed
- After you turn on Full Disk Access and JustCopy restarts, the setup window now comes back in front, right where you left off.
Version 1.1.3
Released 25 September 2026 · macOS 14 or later
Improved
- On first launch, the welcome screen now marks the 1-minute tour as recommended.
Fixed
- On Macs with a notch, the tray now tucks back into the notch in one smooth motion. The small bounce under the notch after it closed is gone.
Version 1.1.2
Released 24 September 2026 · macOS 14 or later
Improved
- Cards are now small by default, so more of your history fits in the tray. Medium and Large are still in Settings → Appearance.
Fixed
- On first launch, the welcome window now opens at its normal size in the middle of the screen, instead of taller than the screen.
Version 1.1.1
Released 24 September 2026 · macOS 14 or later
Fixed
- With two rows of cards, they now scroll all the way to the bottom edge of the tray instead of stopping short of it.
Version 1.1.0
Released 23 September 2026 · macOS 14 or later
New
- The first release of Just Copy for Mac.
- Everything you copy is kept as a card: sixteen kinds, each drawn as what it is.
- The tray drops from the notch, or sits above the Dock on a Mac without one.
- Search reads the words inside screenshots, and Space opens any card in Quick Look.
- Paste Stack, folders that collect, and smart folders that fill themselves by rule.
- Optional iCloud sync, and an optional local connection for Claude, Cursor and Codex.
- On macOS 26 and later, a new install opens on the Liquid Glass tray.
